espegues?

There is a word that I keep hearing. It sounds like "espegues." Can't find it in the dictionary. Maybe you can help.

Could you give us a context, or use it in a sentence?

There's esperar...to wait. And espagueti...spaghetti And esparrago...asparagus.

Hmmm...it must be lunchtime.

OK, thanks for letting us know.

But can you give us even a little clue about context? What was being talked about when you heard it? I've looked at all my sources and can't come up with an idea.

I just read this note yesterday, and then I read an article, that happened to have a similar word in it. Probably not it, but decided to subscribe so I could reply anyway.

The article was on the 3 major bicycle races: el Tour, el Giro, la Vuelta. In one paragraph, they talk about how there is a "La Vuelta Junior": Ahora las carreras importantes no son sólo para los mayores, ¡sino también para los pegues!

Peques = pequeños, no pegues.

Pegue = slang proveniente del verbo pegar. Si una muchacha/o se fija en ti, porque tú le gustas, entonces traes un pegue.

Saludos pegajosos,
